Kavli Affiliate: Andrey Kravtsov | First 5 Authors: Viraj Manwadkar, Andrey Kravtsov, , , | Summary: We use texttt{GRUMPY}, a simple regulator-type model for dwarf galaxy formation and evolution, to forward model dwarf galaxy satellite population of the Milky Way (MW) using the Caterpillar zoom-in simulation suite. We show that luminosity and distance distributions of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Yunchong Wang, Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, ., | Summary: Distances to the $k$-nearest-neighbor ($k$NN) data points from volume-filling query points are a sensitive probe of spatial clustering. Here we present the first application of $k$NN summary statistics to observational clustering measurement, using the 1000 richest redMaPPer clusters […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Brodie Popovic, Dillon Brout, Richard Kessler, Daniel Scolnic, | Summary: Recent studies have shown that the observed colour distributions of Type Ia SNe (SNIa) are well-described by a combination of distributions from dust and intrinsic colour. Here we present a new forward-modeling fitting method (Dust2Dust) to measure […]
Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: DeepMind Interactive Agents Team, Josh Abramson, Arun Ahuja, Arthur Brussee, Federico Carnevale | Summary: A common vision from science fiction is that robots will one day inhabit our physical spaces, sense the world as we do, assist our physical labours, and communicate with us through natural language. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Kanji Mori, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Axion-like particles (ALPs) are a class of hypothetical pseudoscalar particles which feebly interact with ordinary matter. The hot plasma of core-collapse supernovae is a possible laboratory to explore physics beyond the standard model including ALPs. Once produced, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Sallam Alagawani, Vladislav Vasilyev, Feng Wang, , | Summary: Optical spectra (UV-vis and fluorescence) are sensitive to the chemical environment and conformation of fluorophores and therefore, are ideal probes for their conformation and solvent responses. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) such as AG-1478 of epidermal growth factor receptor […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nathan Lewis | First 5 Authors: Wolfgang Altmannshofer, Nathan Lewis, , , | Summary: We use loop induced processes like meson oscillations and rare b hadron decays to determine the absolute values of the CKM matrix elements $|V_{ub}|$ and $|V_{cb}|$ and compare our results to the standard determinations based on inclusive and exclusive […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Xian Chen, Yu Qiu, Shuo Li, F. K. Liu, | Summary: Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are important targets for future space-borne gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, such as the Laser Interferometer Sapce Antenna (LISA). Recent works suggest that EMRI may reside in a population of newly discovered X-ray transients called […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Ilya Lipkovich, Bohdana Ratitch, Yongming Qu, Xiang Zhang, Mingyang Shan | Summary: The ICH E9(R1) addendum (2019) proposed principal stratification (PS) as one of five strategies for dealing with intercurrent events. Therefore, understanding the strengths, limitations, and assumptions of PS is important for the broad community of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Yali Shao, Jeff Wagg, Ran Wang, Emmanuel Momjian, Chris L. Carilli | Summary: We present Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) S- (2–4 GHz), C- (4–8 GHz), and X-band (8–12 GHz) continuum observations toward seven radio-loud quasars at $z>5$. This sample has previously been found to […]
